Once a symbol of American wealth, it has now become a leisure and entertainment center

In the multitude of skyscrapers in New York, the Rockefeller Center is definitely a symbol of American wealth. In the 1980s, a Japanese company bought the entire Rockefeller Center at a high price, shocking the United States! It was only after the Japanese economic bubble burst that the Rockefeller Center returned to the hands of Americans. In fact, the Rockefeller Center we speak of is not a single building, but a complex of 19 skyscrapers in Manhattan with a unique architectural style. It is one of the representative works of early 20th-century modernist architecture and occupies the most central location in Manhattan. The well-known NBC television network, Christie's auction house, and numerous top financial companies are all tenants of the center. However, now the Rockefeller Center is more of a paradise for New Yorkers and tourists to enjoy leisure and entertainment. In addition to the most famous observation deck, the complex is filled with various theaters, shopping malls, exhibition halls, restaurants, and bars, making it a place where one could wander all day and still not have enough. 🎨 At the Rockefeller Center, art pieces that can be seen everywhere highlight the extraordinary taste. Inside the building, you can encounter sculptures and paintings by masters every few steps, and the exterior walls of the building are also inlaid with various top works from around the world, each with endless stories. 🏠 Of course, the greatest work of art is the building itself. These historic buildings still exude quality and taste even today, complemented by the scientifically planned streets. If you have the chance, you can check in at the rooftop gardens within the complex, a green space amidst the concrete jungle. 🌈 Every winter, the Rockefeller Plaza turns into an ice rink, becoming a focal point of attention across America. In the summer, with the rainbow flag 🏳️‍🌈 flying, it is filled with tourists enjoying the sunshine and music. ☕️ The center's complex has shopping stores of all grades, and no woman can resist such temptation. Of course, men can't escape the lure of delicious food either, with dozens of restaurants including popular choices in New York City. This time I tried Le Rock French cuisine and Jupiter Italian cuisine, both the dishes and the environment brought a full emotional value.
